夏天云南旅游温馨提示
Tips for travelling in Yunnan in summer：
夏天是云南的雨季，但她同时也是云南的旅游旺季，雨季的云南，其实最具江南风景的风韵、雅致，朦朦胧胧的、犹抱琵琶半遮面……云南的雨，一般都是夜雨，白天很少，因此不会影响到游玩质量，反而会因此让白天的游玩变得更为惬意。云南的天气具有“一雨成秋”的特点，早晚温差也很大，所以即使是夏天，建议来云南旅游的朋友们也要带上一两件外套，以防感冒。另外，高原的紫外线总是特别强烈，爱美的姑娘们，可别忘了带上防晒用品哦！
Summer is the rainy season in Yunnan, as well as the high season. Yunnan in the rainy season,indeed, is the best season to demonstrate the grace and elegance of South China′s scenery, which is blurred and half shown. It often rains at night in Kunming, and seldom rains in the day, so it will not have any impact on your travelling, instead, it will allow you to have a better experience in the day. The feature of Yunnan′s weather is that when it rains it will soon be cool like autumn, and there is a big temperature difference between the morning and the evening in Yunnan.Even in summer, it is suggested that tourists to Yunnan should bring some coats in case of getting cold.
